The Peanut Stand

PUT SOME SOUTH IN YO MOUF!!!
That’s not the slogan for The Peanut Stand but I sure was singing it as I happily peeled off the gravel road surrounding this Manning, SC local business located right on a country road corner intersection. I had a hankering for boiled peanuts so my cousin directed me to this place that I had to write down old school directions for (go down past the church, make a right, another right, then a left and if you see the farm you went too far).
This small family business has been around for quite some time and the woman I spoke with was more than happy to tell me about her family’s business although she was leery of me taking photos because apparently there was some legal issues going on between family members (yikes). Anyway, what a lovely place! It’s literally just a step above a shack but filled with home grown and/​or local treats. The boiled peanuts were delicious and at only about $ 3 for a bag, more than worth the price!
If you haven’t had boiled peanuts, please add a trip to the South for a bag to your bucket list. Feel free to put it before the trip to the Himalayas and bungee jumping. The store is open seasonally so they won’t be open till May but the next time I’m down in Manning, they will be seeing my face for sure! They also have a Facebook page that’s updated with store news and special hours so be sure to take a glance and/​or call them before you venture out.
